Santa Pur-suit

Santa Pur-suit 2025 is the 12th annual Santa-themed run in Kitchener-Waterloo, held along Weber Street South and Erb Street East as part of warming up the KW Santa Claus Parade. The event offers a 3-kilometre route and a 1-kilometre Fun Run, with participants required to wear a full Santa suit (jacket, pants, hat, beard, belt); failure to wear the full outfit may result in removal from participation without refund. Proceeds support the YMCA of Waterloo Region.

The event has drawn around 154 participants and raised about $445 toward a $2,500 goal. An festive, family-friendly atmosphere accompanies the parade lead-up. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
